Sitemap editor
The sitemap editor is where a page plan becomes visible.
It is not a separate CMS. It works from the workspace `Sitemap` folder. A folder becomes a section in the sitemap view. A markdown file becomes a page card. This keeps the editor close to the real files CLEA can read, edit, and sync.
Use the editor when you need to decide what pages should exist before CLEA starts writing. This matters because page work can get messy fast. A clear sitemap helps CLEA understand where a page belongs, which topic it serves, and which other pages should support it.
Plan the structure first
Start with the section, then add the page.
A section can be a product area, a service area, a topic group, or a page set for one audience. The best section name is boring and clear. It should tell you what type of pages belong inside it.
For example, a website may use groups like:
| Section | Good page idea |
|---|---|
| Product pages | One page for each main product |
| Comparison pages | Pages that compare your offer with common alternatives |
| Problem pages | Pages for questions people ask before buying |
| Support pages | Pages that explain setup, use, or limits |
Choose a section
Use a folder for one product area, topic, or page set.
Add page files
Create markdown files for pages that should exist.
Fill the basics
Add title, URL, description, notes, and status.
Open the card
Use Page Writer when the page is ready for copy work.
Use the page card as the working object
Each page card points to a markdown file.
That file can hold frontmatter, a title, a URL path, a description, notes, draft sections, and page copy. CLEA can open the file in Page Writer and work on it with you.
This is why the sitemap is useful for more than a visual overview. It gives every planned page a real place to live. The plan is not stuck in a chat message.
Keep the editor simple
Do not try to solve the whole site in one pass.
Use the sitemap editor to make the next useful group of pages clear. Then move those pages through writing, review, and sync. This makes it easier to see what is still only an idea and what is already close to publishing.
